Clouds of the Day - Sunday, September 6, 2020

The photos below begin with the remnants of thunderstorms moving from right to left in the first two photos. The final photo shows what is left of midlevel cumulus (altocumulus floccus) with streamers of ice crystals trailing the parent clouds. Altocumulus are midlevel cumulus clouds. In the final photo floccus are clouds that look like tufts of wool - small fluffy cloud elements. The elements here have mostly dissipated due to the precipitation.
